The Wisconsin Mess

Two problems with the way WI Governor Scott Walker is handling the whole mess in Wisconsin. The first is that he and the Senate Republicans arbitrarily imposed a solution without consulting the parties involved -- if spouses were to do that, then the divorce rate would be nearly 100%. The other is that he is asking political opponents like the teachers' unions to make sacrifices, but he is not asking political allies such as the business community to make similar sacrifices such as higher taxes.
